Testimonials
“Before the program, my daughter couldn’t take public transit on her own. Therefore, her activities were limited. Now she understands what’s involved and, in addition to the route she now knows, we are already learning new routes. This training has also helped tremendously with her self-esteem.”– Parent of a DiscoverMyRoute graduate
“Once a person can travel on their own, they can volunteer, go to school, do social activities. The foundation of all these choices is being able to get there.”– DiscoverMyRoute Steering Committee Member
“Because I have learned the basics of what to do, I don’t have those fears of getting lost. Travelling to a new place used to cause me anxiety and now I feel confident.” – DiscoverMyRoute graduate
